There may be greater or 
less prosperity but prog- 
ress all the time. This is 
a marked feature in its 
history. Even in pe- 
riods of financial distress 
and paralysis of trade, it 
has been a matter of com- 
ment that Atlanta grows 
and advances. No year 
passes without some 
great metropolitan 
achievement. Continual 
progress is the leading 
incentive to investment 
of capital and immigra- 
tion. Increasing popula- 
tion and prosperity are 
therefore certain. 



THE WIDE 
AWAKENESS 



And energy so charac- 
teristic of Atlanta are 
partially due to the ele- 
ment of its citizenship 
contributed from the 
best and most enterpris- 
ing of other sections, 
who are speedily imbued 
with the Atlanta spirit.

There is no mystery about tlie growth of Atlanta. Its story ean be toUl 
in five words: location, railways, commerce, manufactures, pluck. It was 
the outcome of the necessities of a situation. The West and the Atlantic 
seaboard had to be brought into communication. Roads must be built 
and location selected as the entrepot for the roads coming from either di- 
rection. No mistake was made as results have proved. Atlanta is the 
very spot which meets all the requirements. The road which the State it- 
self constructed in furtherance of the plan, the Western and Atlantic from 
Chattanooga to Atlanta 138 miles, is still the property of the State and one 
of the most valuable railways in existence, paying an annual rental of 
almost a half million dollars. Those who would come from the North 
an<l Northwest to balmy Florida find that the direct great railway 
lines go through Atlanta, as the people of the East also find the most direct 
line to New Orleans and Texas passes through Atlanta. 



Continuous (BrowHb. 



Atlanta not only grows, but grows constantly and largely. Nor is this 
steady growth corifined to one line of progress, but is manifest on all lines. 
Atlanta is a manufacturing as well as a mercantile city, and trade and 
manfactures increase at the same pace with population. There has l)een no 
halting. In this is exhii)itc<l the wisdom dis])laycd in the location of the citv, 
and in it we also have strong evidence of Atlanta's superior attractions and 
advantages, both for residence and business. There can be but one ex- 
planation of this fact — thar it really possesses the natural and acquired 
advantages of a great citw such as complete facilities of transportation, am- 
])lc capital, a rich surrounding country, a healthful and enjoyable climate, 
and a people of character and sturdv enterprise in the best location. 
These have made good its claims to pre-enunence as an all-round city and 
constitute the unfailing elements of pros])erous growth. There are few 
cities that comh.ine to such an extent the excellencies of home-life and busi- 
ness life and hence the reason wh\' in Atlanta are to be found so many of 
the best people from other sections. In this we also find a further ex- 
planation of that cosmopolitan spirit which is so attractive and for which 
Atlanta is so distinguished. While we do not need to use a drag-net to 
draw in capital and population, we still desire to induce the immigration 
of good people who will help us in accelerating the progress and prosperity 
of our magnificent city. We want all the world to know it — that no bet- 
ter place can be found than x\tlanta in which to live, to conduct business, 
or to trade.

Besides the prominence given it by its wide business ramificaton and 
the personal relations and movements of a big population, it also has 
unique characteristics and a progressiveness which give it an individualitv, 
the exponent of which is what is known as "the Atlanta Spirit." This 
individuality is a composite of ambition, readiness, liberalitv, cosmopoli- 
tanism, and united efifort in all matters for the public weal. It has come 
to be an accepted fact that nothing can be done in this country, however 
big, that Atlanta is not ready and able to duplicate if occasion calls for it. 
Its liberality extends to all movements of a national character, charitable 
or patriotic, and is exhibited in the reception of new citizens who are 
so quickly amalgamated as to become equally enthusiastic with those born 
on the spot. This generous readiness of Atlanta upon all occasions and 
responsiveness to the general progress and weal of the whole country 
bring the city into constant notice. It is a matter of common observation 
that few large national events occur, with which Atlanta is not in some 
way connected. 



He a place of lRc6it)cncc, 



It takes rank with the best. The cHmate is admirable, neither too cold 
in winter or too warm in summer. When in the hottest season people are 
suffering- great discomfort in all sections of the country and in many of the 
big cities are dying from the heat — in Atlanta they are not suffering at all 
as the oificial records made by the United States Government last year 
succinctly prove. The pleasant temperature is clue largely to the location 
at an altitude of over a thousand feet above the level of the sea, on a 
high ridge midway between the ocean and the mountains of the Piedmont 
range. Refreshing and invigorating breezes almost constantly prevail. 
It is also a remarkable fact that while in almost all parts of the country 
there has come to be a settled alarm in certain seasons as to blizzards, tem- 
pest, tornado or cyclone, Atlanta has none of them. There is rarely ever a 
wind strong enough to throw down an awning. If a vacation from busi- 
ness is desired a few hours ride takes one to the mountains or to the sea- 
shore. 

In addition to these features the city has all the great facilities of a great 
city to make life enjoyable and prosperous. It has a municipal government 
managed in such a way as to secure the highest public improvements and 
conveniences without imposing upon the citizens a burdensome taxation. 
The county government is also well administered under a l^oard of county 
commissioners. All these things go to make up the requirements of an 
ideal citizenship. 

The educational facilities are of the very highest order. There is no 
better public school system in the United States, embracing as it does high 
schools for girls and boys which furnish practically a college education. 
Besides there are female seminaries in the city. We have also the great 
Georgia School of Technology which is a branch of the State University 
and has already made a national name, attracting praise and valued contri- 
butions from every section of the coimtry and providing the education 
which is now specially needed in the South to advance its manufacturing 
development. Many of its gradaates already fill important positions as 
managers and superintendents of manufacturing establishments and the 
school is recognized as one of the greatest agencies for the industrial de- 
velopment now proceeding in this section. 

Besides our local institutions there are in the vicinity of Atlanta splendid 
'Colleges, both male and female, the State University itself being within 
two hours ride. These attractions and advantages with many more which 
will readily suggest themselves, go to make up the requirements of an 
ideal citizenship. The city has become one of great culture, and nowhere 
can be found more of the refinements and higher enjoyments of living. 
Everywhere is the evidence of culture and refinement showing itself in 
homes of the most exquisite loveliness and most artistic surroundings. We 
have residence streets that challenge comparison with the handsomest, and 
most roted in the great cities.

But it is to Atlanta's business side that we purpose to call more direct 
attention as offering large opportunities. For this Atlanta is attract- 
ing wide spread attention and there is a wide desire for information con- 
cerning it. To furnish this is the object of this booklet, a brief compilation 
of facts without unnecessary elaboration or detail and profuseness of illus- 
tration. There is a vast deal of matter which might be given interesting 
enough, but not essential to the purpose in view. A sufficient showing 
will be made to evidence the unequaled development of Atlanta as an 
all round city, its rapid strides in population and its wonderful progress 
in commerce manufacturing and its possession of natural and acc^uired 
advantages necessarv to the building of a great city and insuring its con- 
tinuous growth. These are so patent and unquestionable that we 
d,o not hesitate to invite capital and character to come without in- 
vestigation. If however, any one should desire further details and facts 
they will be gladly supplied in comprehensive as well as specific form on 
application to the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce or the mayor 
of the city or in particular lines by persons connected therewith and men- 
tioned in the latter part of this publication. We shall issue editions from 
time to time with additional information to keep the public well posted 
of our progress to date. 



Iprospcroue ConMtione. 



According to a familiar story, an American tourist in London on men- 
tioning New York as his residence was greeted with the inquiry : "I have 
heard of it — how near is it to Atlanta." This is not altogether a jocular 
product of the imagination. But is an outcome or suggestion from exist- 
ing conditions. Atlanta as the leading city of the South is spoken of very 
frequently — for the South just now is attracting the attention and riveting 
the interest not only of the people of this country hut of foreign countries. 

The development of the South justly excites wonder. When we think 
of its five hundred million dollars cotton crop and its wide range of agri- 
cultural products, the tremendous increase of cotton mills and other manu- 
facturing establishments, its inexhaustible supplies of coal and iron, that 
three fourths of all the cotton in the world is produced in the Southern 
States, that it is superior to the cotton of any other country, that on ac- 
count of the less cost of manufacture in the South, the development in 
this line is only less than marvelous, and that in consequence some of the 
oldest and most successful mills in the United States have moved their 
plants to the vicinity of the cotton fields and the perfect facilities and con- 
ditions there prevailing; and consider the other vast resources as appear 
in statement elsewhere given, we are not idealizing or theorizing, when 
we say that the South is accorded precedence over any other section of 
this country for business opportunities and the building of fortunes. Nor 
was Mayor Hewitt of New York, a wise and great man, theorizing when 
years ago he uttered these powerful words of fact and prophecy : 

"The South is endowed by nature with greater advantages than any 
similar area in the zvorld. It contains all the raw materials for innumera- 
ble industries, in great profusion. Its coal and iron are not only unlimited 
in quantity, but so placed in contiguity as to make their development both 
easy and profitable. 

A MONOPOLY OF THE WORLd's GREATEST AGRICULTURAL TRODUCT. 

The South has a practical monopoly of cotton, v.diich now secures for 
her exchanges with the rest of the world to the extent of three hundred 
and fifty millions of dollars annually. There is no country in the world 
zvhose industrial prosperity is planted upon a foundation so stable as this. 

NO LIMIT TO DEVELOPMENT. 

I see no limit to the development of these great natural resources. I 
do not believe anything can permanently arrest the progress of the South 
in the development of her vast resources, and in the promotion of all the 
arts of civilization. 



GEORGIA LEADS. 

As to Georgia, she well deserves the title of the empire State of the 
South. * * * As to its vast mineral and other natural resources, I 
was profoundly impressed with their extent and value. 

A HUNDRED MILES OF RAILROAD OVER MARBLE BEDS. 

The Marietta and North Georgia road has nearly one hundred miles of 
track laid practically on marble beds of inexhaustible extent. This mar- 
ble is of very great variety and of unquestionable value. I visited five 
quarries, and was alike surprised and delighted. They are producing 
marble of infinite variety and of the most beautiful colors, which wiL' 
speedily find a market in every part of the United States. Besides marble, 
there are veins of iron ore to be found on the surface of every mile of the 
road." 

Now Georgia with its two million population is confessedly the Empire 
State of this Empire South in area, mineral and agricultural products and 
general progress. 

Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and the business center of all this 
mighty South region. By the very logic of the situation it is the commer- 
cial metropolis and must continue to expand as the South expands. It 
cannot possibly be otherwise. This fact operates to draw capital and 
trade, for certainty is their polar star and magnet. "The South," says U. 
S. Senator Depew, of New York "is the Bonanza of the future." Atlanta 
is the vantage ground for working it. And if, according to Mavor Hewitt, 
there is "no limit to this development," is there any to the growth and 
expansion of Atlanta? 




Zbc Soutb'0 noctropolie. 



It is unnecessary tc go into an extensive argument to prove that At- 
lanta will become the metropolis of the South — for it is that already and 
is recognized as such by the people of the country in their official, private 
and business capacity. The National Government has made it an army 
post and has built here the Federal prison for the South. Once it was 
necessary to make an especial effort to build and attract railroads and to 
induce capital and business to locate in Atlanta — but now they seek At- 
lanta of their own accord, recognizing it as the "point of resistance" for the 
conduct and enlargement of their business throughout this section. 
Leading corporations and busmess concerns of the United States and not 
a few of foreign countries have established in Atlanta their headquarters 
for the South. Perhaps nothing has evinced the metropolitan character 
of Atlanta more strikingly than the great office buildings which have 
produced such amazement throughout the country, a leading New York 
daily recently remarking that there was nothing like it outside of New 
York and Chicago. These great structures are simply the outcome of the 
necessity of providing suitable accommodation for the concerns flocking to 
Atlanta to make it their Southern base of operations. They recognize its 
character as the metropolis. Atlanta never does things by halves. When 
she saw the necessity of the modern office building it was built and one 
after another was erected until we have a dozen or more, ecjual to the 
best in any part of the country, Atlanta far surpassing any other city of 
the South, both in their number, capacity and superiority of construction. 



H irew jexample0. 



Forcible illustrations of the growing development of the South's re- 
sources and of Atlanta's precedence for management are constantly occur- 
ring. 

Recently the Southern States Portland Cement Company commenced 
operations for the erection of a manufacturing plant near Rockmart, 
Georgia. They own three hundred acres of land on which a plant will be 
erected. Probably several millions of dollars will be invested. The nec- 
essary ingredients — limestone and slate — are found side by side in great 
abundance, and necessary fuel is in close proximity. The material is 
said to be pure and the best ever found in the United States. President 
W. F. Cowham, also President of the National Portland Cement Com- 
pany of Michigan says that the opportunities at Rockmart are more fav- 
orable than any others existing. Nearly all the cement manufactured in 
the United States at the present time is made at Jackson, Michigan, and 
around Bethelehem. Pa. The names of the directors indicate a promi- 
nence guaranteeing success : W. F. Cowham, Jackson, Mich., president 
National Portland Cement Company, secretary and general manager Pen- 
insular Portland Cement Company ; Frank Hawkins, Atlanta, president 
Third National Bank; John W. Boardman, Jackson, Mich. ; Hugh F. Van 
Deventer, Knoxville, Tenn., president Georgia Slate Companv ; A. F. 
MacLaren, M. P., Toronto, Out., vice-president National Portland Ce- 
ment Company, president of A. F. MacLaren Imperial Cheese Companv; 
Joseph S. Irvin, Jackson, Mich., director Peninsular Portland Cement 
Company; David Jamieson, M. P.. Durham. Ont., president Durham 
Furniture Company, and N. S. Potter, Jackson, Mich., vice-president 
Jackson City bank, treasurer Peninsular Portland Cement Company. 

The machinery has been purchased and the capacity of the plant will 
be 1, 600 barrels of Portland cement per day, according to plans and 
specifications by the chief engineer of the company, Mr. W. B. Bogardus 
and his assistant W. J. Maytham. Atlanta was selected for the head 
offices of the company which are in the Empire building. 

Another fact in the same direction is in the action of the St. Louis Car 
Wheel Company, one of the largest concerns of its kind in the world. 
It has purchased a site and will erect a branch foundry in Atlanta. This 
company ships to Portugal, Sandwich Islands, China, Japan and many 
other countries. The secretary and treasurer Air. John W. Nute is in the 
city in charge of the work of construction. 

These are but a few of manv instances that might be cited. 



population. 



This has always steadily advanced. Every census, either official or es- 
timated has shown an increase in the number of citizens. Including those 
who are around the city and in contact and practically a part of it as 
their business is, the population of the city at present cannot be much, 
if any, less than 120,000. The average annual increase over a long period 
indicates that the population will reach 200,000 within twenty years and 
probably within less time. The following figures will show the advance 
by periods : 

1870 — 22,000. 
1880 — 37.000. 
1890 — 65.000. 
1900 — 90.000. 

These figures include only the people within the city lines. Those just 
outside and doing business in Atlanta would easily swell the last figures to 
about 105,000. In two years the. population has increased faster than 
ever before. The directories estimate it at 120,000. It can not be far from 
that number. 



poetotficc IRecctpts, 



As population has increased so has the volume of business. This is in- 
dicated by the increased postal receipts. The growth and prosperity of a 
city are clearly manifested by the increasing business of the postoffice. It 
is the pulse of the business life. As trade territory increases and the vol- 
ume of business, the enlarged use of the mails is necessarv. In this in- 
stance too, as in the case of the population it will be seen that the percent 
age of increase is large. It is not less than fifteen per cent. 

The following figures are ofilicial. 

Receipts to March 31, 1900 — $309,959.69. 
Receipts to March 31, 1901 — 350,274.95. 
Receipts to March 31, 1902 — 402.332.95. 

Postmaster Blodgett's report for year ending June 30, 1902, shows an 
increasing percentage. 



transportation ifacilities. 



The transportation facilities of Atlanta througii additional railways, 
as well as enlarged service, of each railway, made absolutely 
necessary by the increase of passenger and freight traffic, have been so 
increased that they may be deemed practically perfect. We have railways 
radiating to every section of the Union embracing eleven lines operated 
by the Southern, Central of Georgia, N. C. & St. L., Seaboard Air 
Line, Georgia and Atlanta & West Point. The mileage of the systems 
thus directly entering Atlanta amounts to over 13,000 miles. Atlanta has 
become a great railway center — in fact the railway center of the South. 
For many of the great railway systems of the country which reach the city 
only by connection have established offices here. One of these, the North- 
western of Chicago has an office in the Equitable building that was fitted 
up at an expense of several thousand dollar=. 

Xo city in America is more thoroughly and completely provided with 
railway facilities. But so important is this city as the railway center of 
the South that we constantly hear of plans for new railways making At- 
lanta the terminus or of existing systems seeking such a terminus. 

The mileage is as follows: Southern, 6.935; Seaboard, 2,611 ; Central 
of Georgia, 1,845 ! ^- C. and St. L., 1,189; Georgia, 322; A. & W. P. and 
Western of Ala., 225. Total 13,127 miles. 



Bank Clearings 



In these we have another striking evidence of the increased vokime of 
business. They have grown until they reached the great sum of 
$111,755,849.98 in 1901. They show a steady advance from year to year 
and preserve the average percentage of increase. In 1900 the bank clear- 
ings amounted to $96,375,257.22. The gain was therefore over 15 per 
ceni. 



^ 



Banl? 2)epo0it9. 



These have been likewise steadily climbing up. In 1895 the bank de- 
posits amounted to six millions ($6,000,000), in May, 1902, running about 
twelve millions ($12,000,000), thus doubling in seven years. 



H9 a noart^ct. 



The fact that Atlanta is sought and has been made the Southern head- 
quarters by the leading concerns in the United States doing business in 
this section, because of its greater facilities and advantages, for conduct- 
ing business and selling goods, carries with it the other fact by necessity 
that it is the best and cheapest market to buy in. Here are great whole- 
sale nnd jobbing houses in every line carrying immense stocks, and 
manufacturing establishments covering almost the entire field of manu- 
factured products of utility, as well as many of art, annual sales approxi- 
mating one hundred millions of dollars. The manager of one of the 
great buildings said recently that there is not a city in this country in 
which a man can buy better than he can in Atlanta. "Whatever I need in 
the management of this immense building I can go out into the city of 
x\tlanta and get, and I can see it and not have it ordered for me from 
a catalogue." In every department of trade Atlanta is a great market. 
There is hardly an exception. Take for instance the horse and mule 
trade. The figures show that the sales are the third largest of any in the 
United States. People from a wide section of country come to Atlanta to 
supply themselves with stock and we have great stables that can accom- 
modate thousands at a time and there are regular auction sales during 
the season. 



flDanufacturce 



In nothing has Atlanta made greater advance than in the Hne of manu- 
factures. It has pushed itself into the front rank of manufacturing 
cities. There is hardly anything of utility that is not manufactured in 
Atlanta, embracing almost all the products of trade. In some lines the 
progress has been remarkable. Furniture factories use at least half a mil- 
lion dollars worth of raw material, and work over a thousand emplovees. 
The growth of manufacturers in Atlanta is the result of a combination of 
transportation facilities, the immediate vicinity of raw material, coal 
supply in abundance, and other advantages possessed in common at the 
South, such as cheaper cost of living, more advantageous climate for 
work, etc. Atlanta manufacturers make shipments to numerous foreign 
countries. 

The United States Census Bulletin gives the following figures for 1900: 
Number of establishments, 395; numlier of wage earners, 10.000; capital 
employed, $16,000,000. 

We append a list of manufacturers, which is only partial, but sufiicient 
to indicate the scope of manufactured products.

A Business Street. 



®ur ©ffice Builbinas. 



Atlanta has given and continues to give the country great surprises. It 
has not hesitated at a World's Fair, pronounced by many unsurpassed by 
any held ni America. It readily undertakes anything of value done by our 
greatest cities. But perhaps nothing so astonished the people of the coun- 
try and focused national attention as the bold feat of the city in the con- 
struction of modern office buildings. The country had scarcely quit talk- 
uig about the sky-scrapers of Chicago and Xew York before Atlanta em- 
barked in the business. If those cities could build them, so could Atlanta. 
Our Equitable led oft", a lialf million dollar structure, which freely elicited 
predictions that it would be the last. But it was no experiment. Its 
builders knew what they were about. The three hundred offices in that 
magnificent edifice were not all ready before they were taken. One after 
another great office structures foHowed in quick succession, and were like- 
wise speedily filled — and we have one now going up called the Century 
which towers like a veritable Atlas ambitious to support a good segment 
of the skies. We have fourteen or fifteen specially constructed office 
buildings. Those not at first containing all the up-to-date appointments 
iiave been re-modeled and modernized. In these buildings are over two 
thousand offices, in which it is safe to say fully ten thousand people do 
business, counting only those who are actually engaged in them. In each 
of several of these buildings passenger trips on the elevators sometimes 
aggregate ten thousand a day. 

In one, the Equitable, official figures have been published to show that its 
mail business is greater than that of a prosperous city of forty thousand 
people. In the offices are the managers and representatives of Southern 
Departments for many of the largest corporations and companies in the 
United States in all the great lines of trade, and they still continue to come. 
This fact as well as others of an interesting character, will appear to those 
who examine the descriptions given in subsequent pages. \\'e do not give 
full descriptions in each case, for the buildings are all excellent in their ap- 
pointments and substantially similar. 



Zhc lequitablc. 



The completion of the Equitable Building was an event of great magni- 
tude, and one of the foremost in the city's history. In size, finish, and 
costliness, it is not exceeded by any office structure in the South, and com- 
pares favorably with any in cities of the North and West. 

Occupying i6o feet on Pryor, 185 on Edge wood avenue, and 89 on Por- 
ter's alley, it is eight stories higli, making with the basement, nine floors, 
and has over 300 rooms. 

The exterior is exceedingly handsome, and is constructed of the most 
durable and finest materials. The first story is of marble and granite, with 
circular columns three feet in diameter. The remaining stories are of light 
colored brick with terra cotta ornamentation. These brick are American 
.made, and cost $55 per thousand or over five cents each. The faces of the 
court are of white glazed brick, iiuported from England at a cost of $150- 
a thousand, or fifteen eenls each. 

The interior is a marvel of construction in meeting all the requirements 
for comfort, convenience, light and ventilation. 

The ground floor is divided into stories and bank apartments. 

The main entrances lead into a hall twenty-one feet wide. The floor and 
ceiling of these entrances are of beautiful mosaic marble work. From the 
hall ascends a semi-circular marlile and iron stair-way, and four elevators. 
Both stairway and elevators run to the top floor. The latter are of the 
best and most modern construction as to speed, safety and power. 

All stores and offices have interior entrances to this hall. 

On the first floor is a rotunda covered with glass, above which is an open 
court. 

All hall and corridor floors are of Georgia marl^le. the base of Belgium 
marble, and the wainscotong and toilet-rooms of pure white Italian marble. 

There are two main entrances, one on each street, richlv decorated 1)v 
carvings in stone. 

The location is almost at the very business centre, being on the corner 
of Edgewood avenue and Pryor streets, one block from the junction of 
Peachtree, Marietta streets anrl Edgewood avenue, and one lilock from the 
Kimball House. 

Ascending to the second floor, or first above the street, the landing is 
in a hall, upon which o])en numerous offices, and from this lead two hall- 
ways into the wings, all the offices looking either out upon the street or 
upon the court, the large majority upon the street, owing to the hai)]T|_v 
location of the building and construction, though the width of the court 
with one open end renders the offices opening upon it little inferior, if at 
all, to the others. All the other stories are similarly planned.

THE EOriTABLE. 



The entire building- has the modern fire-proof construction of tile and 
steel. All through the building there is a skeleton of steel work, which 
carries the weight of the walls and floors. The floors are constructed of 
steel beams instead of the ordinary wooden floor joist, with arches of tile 
between them. All the interior dividing walls are built of blocks of tile, 
which receive the plastering without the ordinary wooden laths to hold it 
in place. Thus each room has all its walls, ceiling and floor, constructed of 
a material impossiljle to burn. There is no wood used in the structural 
part of the building. The thin covering of wooden flooring on top of the 
tile flooring, the doors and window-casings, are the only parts composed 
of wood. 

In addition to the tile floors and walls, all constructional metal supports 
for the building are covered with fire-proofing, which protects them from 
exposure to heat which might arise from a fire in an adjoining building or 
from burning material stored in any of the rooms. The entire building 
being composed of iron and steel and fire-proof tile, which is nothing less 
than baked clay, there is absolutely nothing in the structure of a combus- 
tible nature. 

The building is lighted ])y electricity and heated by steam. 

The cost approximated three quarters of a million dollars. 

In its inception and completion tl.e master spirit was Mr. Joel Hurt. To 
him is mainly due the credit of the brilliant conception and execution of 
an enterprise, which marked an era in Atlanta's history, and one of its 
foremost strides in metropolitan progress. 

The Lowry National IJank moved from their own building to occupy 
apartments in the Equital)le specially prepared for them. The interior 
arrangement, the $15,000 safe, the vaidts, the furniture, and appointments 
generally, make it one of the finest bank interiors in the whole country. 

We show elsewhere that Atlanta is the great railway headquarters of the 
South ; the Equitable is railway headquarters in Atlanta, there being thirty 
or forty railway and su]jply companies represented in offices ranging two 
to a dozen each. 

Among these may be mentioned The Southern Railway, The Atlanta & 
West Point and Western Railway of Alabama, The Alabama Great South- 
ern, The Atlanta, Knoxville & Northern, Pennsylvania Lines, Seaboard 
Air Line, Chicago and Alton, Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Missouri Paci- 
fic, Norfolk & Western, Mobile & Ohio. Kansas City Southern, St. Louis 
& South Western (Cotton Belt), Georgia Southern & Florida, Plant Sys- 
tem, The Chicago & Northwestern, which has a very handsome office on 
the street floor fitted up at an expense of several thousand dollars. Here 
too, are Southeastern Freight Association and the Southeastern Passen- 
ger Association, which represent nearly all the lines of the South. The 



great Clyde Steamship Company also has its office in this building, South- 
ern Car Line and American Refrigerator Transit Company. We append

This splendid structure, occupying the block boundcxl by Broad, Walton 
and Forsyth streets and Custom House Place is one of the most desirable 
and valuable for stores, banking, insurance, real estate, general business 
and professional offices. It is in the business center — directly opposite the 
U. S. Post-office and Custom House Building, and all the street railroad 
systems center near its doors. It has a frontage of eighty-five feet on 
Broad street, one hundred and seventv-eight feet on Walton street, eighty- 
eight feet on h'orsvth street, and one hundred and seventy-eight on Custom 
House Place. 

The building was designed by Mr. Thos. H. Morgan, of Bruce & Mor- 
gan, Architects, Atlanta, Georgia, in the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, 
a style most appropriate for this climate. 

The first three stories are built of Bedford limestone and grey brick, and 
above this rises five stories of plain wall surface, which support the en- 
riched pilasters and cornices of the two top stories. The three principal 
entrances are of limestone beautifully designed and carved. 

This building is of the most modern fire-proof, independent steel con- 
struction. The structural steel work was designed by Mr. Corydon T. 
Purdy. of Purdy & Henderson, Structural Steel Engineers, New York 
City. 

There are entrances from Broad, Walton and Forsyth streets, centering 
at the elevators and forming a grand arcade through the center of the 
building from Broad to Forsyth street. The vestibules are handsomely 
finished, Vv^alls and ceilings in A'erde antique marble with Mosiac floors. 
There is also an entrance for freight and employees from Custom House 
Place. 

The first story is arranged for Ijanking purposes, real estate or insurance 
•offices and attractive stores. These front on r)road, Walton and Forsyth 
streets, and have verv large polished plate-glass show windows, both on 
the streets and the arcade. 

From the second to the tenth story inclusive the space is divided into 
offices. Each office is provided with a marble wash-bowl and an oak ward- 
robe. Every room has direct outside light, polished plate-glass windows 
from bottom to top. The finish is selected oak. and each room has every 
•convenience of heat, light and ventilation. The space will be divided to 
meet the requirements of tenants. 

There are four high-speed elevators complete and perfect in equipment, 
with decorative wrought-iron screens. They have every modern a])i)liance 
for safety, and are conveniently situated in the center of the building. 
There is one freight elevator for lifting safes, furniture, etc. 



The corridors on every floor are broad and well lighted. They are all 
finished with marble tile floors, and marble wainscoating six feet high, 
above which are large glass transoms. 

The building has light on all four sides, and each room has direct out- 
side light through large plate-glass windows. 

Each room and corridor is provided with gas and electric light. The 
building has a large modern electric light plant, and lights will lie fur- 
nished to tenants without extra charge. 

No expense has been spared to secure phnul^ing of the best and most 
sanitary character. 

The building is heated by steam according to the most approved and 
scientific method. 

The arcade or main corridor is finished in white marl)le from floor to 
ceiling. A number of the stores have entrances and large plate glass show 
windows upon the arcade. 

There are two grand marble stairways to the second floor, and one in 
each end of the l)uilding from the second to the tenth, entirely removed 
from the elevators. 

This building has all the modern conveniences, including janitor ser- 
vice, U. S. mail chute, ice water on every floor, etc., etc. It is occupied by 
the following:

The location of the l)uilding- is most advantageous, fronting as it does 
upon Peachtree street, the principal thoroughfare of the city, and being 
just at the juncture of the residence and business sections of the city, is 
most convenient to all classes of people. This is of especial importance to 
physicians, whose patients may avoid the crush of trade. It is also in the 
liotel and club center of the city thus placing it in close contact with the 
traveling public. The cars of all lines of street railways stop directly in 
front of the door, thus affording convenient communication with all parts 
of the city. 

The construction and arrangement of the building aft'ord a degree of 
privacy and independerce found in anv otffce building, there being in 
110 case more than six separate offices tributar}' to each floor. One is thus 
■enabled to preserve a perfect individual establishment and identity, which 
would be lost on a floor of greater area. Each floor has separate toilet 
conveniences and is complete within itself. 

The lighting arrangement is perfect, each room being lighted by a large 
central cluster of six to twelve lights, in addition to wall and desk brack- 
ets. The lighting and power currents are taken from the public service, 
as is also the steam heat, so that they are available at all hours of the 
day or night and will not be subject to the interruptions with which a 
private service would be liable. The motion of the cars is smooth and 
imiform avoiding the jerk and lurch of hydraulic elevators which is so 
annoying to ladies and persons of delicate health and temperament. Pro- 
vision is made for an all night elevator service in order that the offices 
may at all times be readily accessible. Attendance by uniformed servants 
is included in the rate of rental, and the perfect neatness of apartments at 
all times is assured. 

The building is absolutely fire-proof, and every room has an outside ex- 
posure wdiich ensures perfect light and ventilation and affords an interest- 
ing view of the citv, while free from the noise, dust and annoyances of the 
street. 

The interior construction is such that while all standing walls are fire- 
proof and impervious to sound, they can be readily removed to make any 
divisions of space required in special cases. A very economical arrange- 
ment can be made by the association of two firms in the space of three 
rooms ; having a reception room in common and a private office on each 
side.

A. H. Benning, President ; Roby Robinson, Vice-President ; W. T. Comer,

The first mark and stamp of superiority in the new office buikHngs of 
Atlanta is the manifest efifort at perfect construction. To accomplish this 
the plans are modeled after the best features developed in modern architec- 
ture, and then the work is put into hands of men whose character as well as 
successful records are guarantees of efficiency. This fact is prominently 
shown in the Austell building, Bruce and Morgan being the architects, and 
the contractors Miles & Bradt, who have constructed many very costlv 
buildings in this and other States of the country, among them the half mil- 
lion dollar white marble U. S. government building in Savannah. 

Mr. W. B. Miles is best known to Georgians as the builder of our State 
Capitol, the best American structure of its kind for the cost and one built 
for less than the appropriation. 

The location on Forsyth street, at the bridge, gives a magnificent base- 
ment along the railroad tracks. The second floor, on Forsyth street, above 
the viaduct, is composed mainly of store rooms. In the nine floors there 
are over two hundred offices, every one being well ventilated and lighted, 
and the construction and appointments throughout are upon the most mod- 
ern and best perfected plans.

The Gould Building is on Decatur street, across from the Kimball, m the 
very heart of the city/ It was erected in 1887, specially for office P^rposes. 
Since Mr. Gould's death, it has been several times unproved by Mr- ^'■ 
C Chapman, son-in-law of Mr. Gould, and the present proprietor. He has 
spared no expense to make it complete and up-to-date. It has about sev- 
entv-f^ve rooms besides bank apartments, and a first-class Tmkish bath m 
the' basement. Improvements made in the Fourth National bank offices, 
entitle them to rank among the finest and handsomest m the country, the 
marble finishing being all of Georgia, and all the grill work being hand- 
hammered. This building also enjoys the distinction of fire proof vaults 
on every floor.

Special IRote. 



In the following- pages will be found information of many leading con- 
cerns located in Atlanta. Among them are some who sell goods and ship 
even into foreign countries and across the ocean — their facilities are un- 
surpassed. We are sure, therefore, that no one can buy to better advan- 
tage than of these concerns and business men. and advise that incjuiry be 
made of them for catalogues, price lists, etc. 



Biicf^mal^ino flDacbineri?. 



We have sliown in this booklet that Atlanta is the recognized metropolis 
of the South where great concerns of the country have established their 
headquarters for the most convenient and efficient dealing with their cus- 
tomers throughout this section. One among the many evidences of this 
fact is the organization of new companies with this view. Among these 
is the Atlanta Brick Machinery Company organized to supply the de- 
mand for improved up-to-date brick plants and brick making appliances. 
It is a Georgia Incorporated firm w-ith a paid in capital of twenty-five 
thousand dollars. The president and general manager, Mr. Frank H. 
Reid, is a successful Ijrick maker and has also large acquaintance with the 
best brick making machinery. L. M. Reid is secretary and treasurer. 
J. K. Montgomery and George Gorton are connected with the firm as di- 
rectors. 

They are exclusive agents in this section for the very best brick mak- 
ing appliances and machinery, and can doubtless be of great service and 
profit to the brick makers of this section, saving them monev in various 
ways unnecessary to state, as they are quite manifest. They are manu- 
facturers and manufacturers' agents for a full and complete line of brick 
and tile machiner\', and, (juoting further from their card, they are special 
agents in twelve Southern states for Wallace Manufacturing Company of 
B'rankfort, Ind., for their complete Wonder Stiff Mud Wire Cut Brick 
iVIachinery, built in four sizes, making twenty thousand, forty thousand, 
sixty thousand and one hundred thousand brick per day. 

They are also agents for the following : The Berg Dry Presses, Frost 
Dry Pans, Richardson Steam Power and Hand Repressers. 

The "'Grand Automatic" Arnold-Creager Soft Mud (sand finish) Brick 
Machinery, Pub Mills, Brick Barrows, Trucks and Supplies. Potts 
"World Renowned" Disintegrators. 

George S. Cox's Special Drawn Cutting Wires. Brick Driers, Drier 
Cars and Drier Equipments. 

The Houston, Stanwood and Gambles Engines, Boilers, Pumps and 
Heaters. 

We arc satisfied that those who contemplate plants could not do better 
than to entrust the equipment of them to this Company, who will also 
furnish clay ex])erts when desired to examine deposits or will execute any 
service requisite to insure the success of their patrons. Those who can- 
not find it convenient to make a trip to Atlanta can accomplish as much 
by a letter asking for catalogue, prices and information. 

The office of the companv is located at 403 Prudential Building, Atlanta, 
Ga.

The South 

Its Wonderful I^esourccs and Climate. 



United States Senator Chauncey M. 
Depew of New York, in an address to 
the Alumni Association of Yale Uni- 
versity, said : "The net result of my 
visit to the South, is just this, that the 
South is the Bonanza of the future. 
We have developed all the great and 
sudden opportunities for wealth — or 
most of them— in the Northwestern 
States and on the Pacific Slope, but 
here is a vast country with the best cli- 
mate in the world, with conditions of 
health which are absolutely Jinparalelled 
with vast forests untouched, with 
enormous veins of coal and iron which 
have yet not known anything beyond 
their original conditions, with soil that 
under proper cultivation, for little capi- 
tal, can support a tremendous popula- 
tion, with conditions in the atmosphere 
for comfortable living winter and sum- 
mer, which exist nowhere else in thu 
country.^'' 

To this wonderful Eldorado Atlanta 
is the principal gateway.
